In this lesson, students will practice their listening skills (sub-aim) by listening to an audio about choosing art to hang in a hospital or office building. A quick listening comprehension exercise will be done. This will be followed with a discussion in the same subject which links to the main aim of the lesson, vocabulary, whereby another audio and writing exercise will be completed. Language clarification of the -ever words will be covered followed by another -ever related gap-fill exercise. Should there be time remains two mere related activities will be done.
